HU SNG - Strategy discussion for the first stage.

[El helado Patata]

First off, I want to say that I agree that most poker strategies is not as easy to put up rules like (always CB on flop etc) but I am not THAT against it if you are ready to modify the rule if necessary.

Today I was thinking about if it would be a good strat to raise it up 3x on the button and then bet 150 into the 180 (on BM where I prefer to play) pot and then bet like 333 into the 480 pot until you reach a 2000 vs 1000-advantage (usually happens when the guy calls you pf and then folds on the flop 4-5 times) and be in a great shape when the blinds goes up to 25/50 and above.

It is a bit robotic but what I feel is that it is hard to adjust too considering that the opponent doesnt really know that the guy that raises and bets on the flop for the third time doesnt really have anything. And even thou the guy get suspicious he still cannot call you down with absolutly nothing. And when he realizes that you where just stealing then you have already suceeded in your goal of getting the chipadvantage most of the time (if the guy doesnt not hit anything real good).

Advantages with that play in the beginning:
You usually get a substantial chiplead when succesful.
You get this loosemegaaggrobluffy-image that you can capitalize when you reached your goal.
It is hard to counteract the strategy before its too late.
It also speeds up the average time (=increase hourly profit) of the SNG, preferably if you actually hit something nice and get called down or get reraised and lose.

Callingstations
When I tried this tactic today it became apparent that a few people just call down on the flopbet everytime. If you notice that the guy appears to be a callingstation then I suggest that you calm down after attempting to steal 2 hands and just play 'normally'.

The last thing I wanted to say is that this is something that I basically came up with today and not really "My way to success at HU SNGs" so I am fine with disagreements (well, I usually am anyway).
